Love pinterest. I saw this idea multiple times from various blogs and wanted to do the same!!

This box of 100 pop-ice was only $3.77 at my local Walmart. Makes for a very cheap gift for over 20+ students. I am room mom for my daughters class and their end of the year party is quickly coming up. (As in tomorrow– nothing like last minute gifts)

I printed off tags, cut them out, hole punch and used ribbon to tie 4 unfrozen ice pops together as a gift. Pretty easy to do and love how colorful and summery they look.

I made the tags myself and have shared them at the bottom of this post for anyone that is looking for a cool summery tag and end of the year gift for events. Here in Florida- beach and sand is a must.

I am one of the Room Moms for my daughters school. Friday Me and another room mom (I am blessed this year there is more than 1 of us!! LOVE THAT) We got a head start and worked on the door for our wonderful teacher. She obviously is a Gator Fan and SO ARE WE!! So we were happy to do this themed door. It was pretty easy to do!

The lines are done with 2 different size masking tape thickness. Once we covered the door with green paper, we marked out the lines with a ruler and then just used the making tape to mark the field. We then cut out a goal post and all the kids in the class were given a football. I had cut out all the footballs using brown kraft paper on a roll. I purchased a while ago for alot of my crafting projects from LOWE’s. They sell it in the paint department. Painters generally use it on the floor to protect the floors when they are painting. Its far cheaper than purchasing a bunch of rolls at the Dollar Tree. However if you do not need a massive roll then the Dollar tree is the place to get it.

I have a large scale ink jet printer so I designed real quick the sign and printed it 13×19 so we didn’t have to cut out or paint all the letters for the top of the door. Made the job a bit faster and to the THEME

The kids all added their name and why they loved their teacher. My daughter even threw in a GO GATORS on her football — GOOD GIRL!!

I am so thankful for the other room mom to spend a few hours with me to help make this door awesome!! Team work at its best!!

So excited how this door turned out!! I hope she knows how much the parents appreciate her and how much the kids love her!!

Found these cutest Chalkboard / Dry Erase Board Easel in the Dollar Spot of Target. They are priced at $3.00 but they were still an awesome price and very cute. I knew with a little vinyl I could make them look even more fun for a teacher.

I added a quote and her name on the chalkboard side. It reads “They may forget what you said, but they will not forget how you made them feel.”

Adding her name on both sides because I am not sure which side she will use or display. As you have seen me use over and over again on my projects – Silhouette Machine. I love all the endless things I can do with this machine!!

Dry Erase side…

I then purchased Chalk & Dry Erase markers and tied them on for her to have to use with the board.

I love how it turned out and cost me under $5.00 for the gift (chalk was only $.47 and the pens were $.97 at walmart) Plus some vinyl.

HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK to all the wonderful teachers out there!

This year I have taken the reusable cup that Starbucks sells for 1.00 and used my trusty Silhouette Machine. Cut out with Forest Green Vinyl and added just the ring around the outside of the Starbucks logo. I did not reproduce the logo, simply personalized the cup only. (The cup on the left is personalized the cup on the right is how I purchased it)

I used Oracle 651 vinyl and wipe the cup down with alcohol to prepare the surface before I added the vinyl.

I will then fill the cup with a Starbucks gift card inside and chocolates Perfect gift for a teacher. SO FUN!!

This year Teacher Appreciation falls on May the 4th. We love Star Wars in this house and so I felt it would be fun to make a gift to go along with the day

I got this red tub from Dollar Tree. I used silver and black vinyl with my awesome Silhouette Machine. I use it for everything practically!! What as life before this wonderful machine?!?

I then created some fun tags for items I either already had or purchased at the store/dollar tree. Printed them on regular paper and cut them out and taped them on. Light Sabers were a pack of glow sticks.

Boba Gum– pretty self explanatory

Bag of cookies (used raspberry shortbread)

The tags for these 2 fit over the top of a sandwich size zip top baggie. I placed the candy in the bag, closed it and rolled it down a bit. Cut out the tags, tent folded them and put them at the top of the baggies and staple once on each side. Instant cute candy bags.

Sports drink and a lemon/lime soda for these two items. Vaderade and Yoda Soda

Put all the items into the container and they are ready for gift giving on May the 4th. My daughter can’t wait to give it to her teacher next week. She is super excited.

I have PDF the tags for you to use. I am unable to take custom requests for sizes at the moment. You are welcome to this FREE DOWNLOAD to my wonderful blog readers. I tried to use standard sized items so that it was easy to match if you decided to do this. This gift would be great for Father’s Day as well. Something fun for any Star Wars fan!!

Teacher Appreciation week is May 4-8th here in Central Florida. May the 5th is also Cinco De Mayo and wanted to make a fun little gift to give the teacher on May the 5th. I got all these items at the dollar tree except for the bakers twine and then printed the tag. Down…

Teacher appreciation week here is May 4th -8th. I am going to TRY to post all my projects for this year a week early to share and inspire any of you looking for ideas. I made this one very inexpensively. I used a 24 inch piece cut from my broken/fallen down fence in the…

This has been so fun to make. I really have enjoyed it!! I love to use my Nesco Dehydrator. It isn’t one of the super fancy expensive ones but I can do up to 5 trays in it with no issues. Works great and easy to clean up and pack away. I had alot of…

I have really enjoyed lately working on sugar cookies. I still enjoy making cupcakes and baking however I have always envied (thats a sin I know) People that could make fabulous cookies. A wonderful girlfriend who makes cookies taught me one morning before my birthday. I enjoyed every minute of it. I soaked in everything…

This activity was NOT created by me. The Youth discussed this at one of their meetings and someone suggested it and made it happen. The parents all came together bringing what was needed for the event. Balloons, Laundry Baskets, Helmets (but they tended not to be used but they were meant to be used hahaha)…

Creating all these pieces listed here– I used the same method from a past post — LUCKY BOARD I wanted something SPRINGY- to have in my home and to keep the true meaning of EASTER in our home. I love the scripture John 3:16 These are all approximately 24 inches long and I cut them…

I had chalkboard eggs that I decorated with my favorite chalk board markers. The Bistro chalk markers are the brightest and goes on the best in my humble opinion. LOVE LOVE THEM!! I wanted a way to display them. We have a rotting fence in the back yard and I am always using the boards…

I was looking through my husband work shed one day and saw his paint sticks he uses for work. I batted my eyelashes and begged for 12 of his sticks. He was confused– but what I saw was something more. They looked like a picket fence to me Pulled out my favorite blue…

I love decorating for every holiday Also creating new crafts for the decorating is also alot of fun for me!! This section of my home is pretty new for me this year. I am happy how it turned out. I love green so I had alot of green things already. Canvas banner- I got…

I wanted something more less traditional for St. Patrick’s day in my home for decorations. My husband took 2 boards off a weathered pallet in my back yard and screwed them together to make me a nice board to work with. I also have horse shoes a friend once gave me for a past party….
